Elon Musk's statement: Will the Beautiful Bill be killed? It's actually very difficult. Now that the bill has been reviewed by the House of Representatives and approved by the Senate, the Republican Party has used the budget mediation process, and as long as there is a simple majority, the bill can be passed. Now there are 54 Republican seats in the Senate, and in principle, as long as no more than 3 Republican senators oppose the Beautiful Bill, it will eventually be passed.
The current fiscal hawks within the Republican Party in the Senate: Rand Paul from Kentucky, Mike Lee from Utah, and Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, these three are strongholds. It has been clearly stated that they will not vote in favor of the current version unless there is a significant reduction in expenses. Trump is seeking the support of centrist Republican senators, such as Lisa Murkowski from Alaska and Susan Collins from Maine.
Trump also prepared a weapon, which is the campaign funds for next year's mid-term elections. On May 23rd, a previously overlooked news in the market stated that "Trump has raised $600 million for next year's midterm elections, with a goal of raising $1 billion. The money is basically to support the legislators to run for re-election. Trump released this message during the critical period of the process of the Beautiful Bill, which is intended to put pressure on the legislators. If the legislators do not cooperate with the bill voting, the party funds in the mid-term election next year will probably not cooperate with them to run for re-election.
